One Step, By Step... {Reserved For Wild One}

[lemmy]

The young male hybrid stood under the cracked boats deck looking at the swirling wind that was in front of him. He squinched his eyes as the wind blew the snow his wind. Some of the snow got in his eyes. "Guess I'm not seeing my mom tonight," he muttered with a quiet sigh, watching the the swirling wind, the horrible melody screetching his ears. He forced his ears back and closed his eyes, trying to fall asleep. But the wind was so strong, that it kept rocking the boat keeping him up. The male didn't know what to do, what to say. He couldn't go to town so, what should he do? The male's fur blended in with the snowflakes that landed delicatly on his back.
The male was supposed to see his mother today, but the storm grew over as he was heading towards the small town. He expected to get there before it started but it was to late. Sometimes, on blizzards like this the humans would take him in. And when it cleared up, they wished him luck, told him goodbye and see you later, then he left glad to have the extra time with his mother. He sometimes missed the nights where he sat at Will's feet on the nice cozy and woven rug. He'd fall asleep while his mom was already sleep, tired out from pulling a sled. But he also enjoyed the nice freedom, and defiently less winter falls. Being in Alaska was twice as hard though especially with a stray.

"Diva!"

"Stupid dirty little useless mut!"

"Stuck up mean pure-bred!"

The two argued and argued in till the harsh winter storm came in. Alice growled at the dog before walking off to find shelter. If it was not for her body built no one would be able to tell she had wolf in her and her eyes showed it to. He female had long fur like a malamute then the common blue eyes of a husky. Her coat color was like a wolves but mixed with the common white and black husky pattern. She walked through the snow shivering. She was the hight of a common female husky. The female let a slight whine out as the harsh wind blew snow on her. As Alice moved she soon found a fallen empty trash can and got in but she soon found that a bad idea as it started to roll around with her inside. She jumped out with a huff and growled and closed her eyes only depending on her hearing and sense of smell as she walked and soon went under some one;s porch but it was to cooled under there, with a sigh she got up and kept surcharging till the storm got to strong. She laid down in attempt to not be blown around when she saw a abandon house. She quickly ran to it and took cover inside by moving through a broken window. Inside she sat watching the storm in the warm-ish house. finally she thought relaxing. Just as Alice was about to lay down she saw something moving through the snow but figured it was nothing and did as she pleased falling, asleep.

[lemmy]

The male soon fell asleep, though it was kind of uncomfortable. He moved back and forth, tossing and turning as the cold nearly suffocating. He was soon too tired of the wind nearly giving him frost bite. Getting up, he walked down from the boat and down to the near-by abounded house. The family just abounded it not too long ago about, a week. He ran all the way there and bounded in through the window, coughing and vomitting snow that quickly had gathered in his mouth as he was running. His vision blurred, the kind of fair-heated house becoming just a haze of brown. Walking dizzyly, he knew he couldn't stop himself from passing out. Finding a blurry shape of gray. He tried to sniff the scent, but he felt like he couldn't breath and figured the snow stuffed his nose. Sooner or later, he collapsed in the middle of the floor, hitting the ground hard. Blackness slowly engulfed him.

[Guest]

Alice was quickly up, growling with her back tail and hair bristling. She watched the figure move till falling down. She walked up to him sniffing, his sent was unfamiliar. As he was obliviously not one of the bullies she gently nudged his face and lick him a few times before sitting and waiting. Her eyes mainly stayed on him but would occasionally look away but would quickly return.

[lemmy]

The male gave a small and quiet moan. Soon, his surroundings started to appear back to life, and all his senses. He saw something blurry in fronto of him. The same gray figure that he saw when he first arrived and went unconsious. His vision soon cleared to meet the blue gaze of a feminine face looking away once in a while then at him. Her eyes showed a lot. He got up and looked at her. "W-what are you doing here?" he asked quietly. He hadn't quite remembered anything but was sureley glad he wasn't dead.

[Guest]

The female chuckled, "Same as you, you know. Warmth, protection, yadha yadha yadha." She said then Alice added,"And anyways I was hear before you." She said with her tail stiff and straight out behind her in a half alert position. Alice's eyes never left him now that he was awake. She then walked off coming back with melted snow water in a old human dish. She sat it in front of him before walking off aging, she returned awhile latter with two large fat rats and put one one his paw the other near herself, "Well if where stuck hear till the snow dies down we better stay fed and get along." She said before eating with a face that said the meat was horrible but she made a mhhh noise as if it tasted delightful.

[lemmy]

The male watched her, eyes full of half alertness. He watched her disappear and come back with water. He leaned down and sniffed it, but didn't drink it. He thought what was just going on. There was a female, in front of him and she was doing nothing but being alert while talking as if he was going to just straightly attack her. He stayed in the same position as if he'd just been frozen. His eyes moved only watching her ever move, every direction, ears pricked and alert just in case she'd suddenly just attack him. Marco watched her disappear and soon come back with some bad-smelling red meat. In her jaws, she carried two rats. Ugh! He'd rather die instead of that! Gross! He still stayed in the same position watching her drop the carcass in front of him and watched her settle down and take a bite. "I'd rather not eat, thanks." he muttered and turned looking away and lying down staring off into space.

[Guest]

"Yea me two" She said stopping and pushing it away, "How much longer I wonder?" She said not really talking to anyone. She then got went to a corner and curled up with a sigh.

(Sss, and Ssb)

[lemmy]

The male sighed and looked around. How long would it take? This would be a long night for as long it would. He closed his eyes and started to doze off. He was grateful for the nice and quietness now. Finally it was at least! He thought he'd die. He didn't dream but his breathings were light and soft as he dozed over at the other side of the room. He shuddered from the coldness that blew in the open window and curled up more. He couldn't just get comoftable.

[Guest]

With a soft whimper to him, Alice got up nudged him and started to walk to a some what warmer room with a huge old ripped up dog bed and took some of it and laid down while half of it was left for him, though it was old and rough it still felt nice and soft.

It was a more comfortable then the ground, bed.

[lemmy]

Marco kept his eyes closed when suddenly he felt a wet nose nudge him. Lifting his head, he looked to see the female dog gesturing him to follow her. Getting up, and shaking off snow that blew into his fur he followed her. Soon, they were in another room, a old and ragged dog bed lay infront of him. He watched her take half and walk away. Getting up, from where he sat he curled up where the other half was and lied down in the bed. After a few comfortable moves, he closed his eyes and fell asleep falling asleep. His sleep was now more comfortable and he lay there: nice and cozy this time. He decided to thank the female later because if he didn't , he'd be a dogscicle.

[Guest]

When morning came she was still asleep and the wild storm had ended but left 2 feet of snow and ice. All the town's trees branches had turned into icicles. Alice still laid asleep her rip cage raising ever so slowly then falling aging. She slept in peace.

[lemmy]

Marco felt the sunlight bath his fur and he lifted his head, eyes wide and happy as he noticed that the snowstorm had stopped. Now he could probably leave this place! Then, he could see his mother and stay in the house with a warm fire. He headed outside and then gasped quietly as the snow was as big as him. He looked up and started to prod the snow with his paw. Some of it was mushy. He looked back at the females, eyes longing. This time, he didn't know why he suddenly cared if he was leaving to continue to the wild, but this female helped him. Usually he was a flirt but since he'd met her, not once did he act up. He murmured a silent, "thank you and good luck in this world." Before turning and walking out, stuggling through the snow to get to town.

[Guest]

She heard his whisper in her sleep and slowly awoke. Raising to her feet she walked out and gasped, the snow was bigger then her. The male was slightly ahead and had made a path she could use. Fallowing it down to where he was she started to manoeuvre herself up. Being small she weighed less then him and could sort of a walk on the snow. AS she did so she fell in a few times, most likely making it easer for him but soon made it to her favourite easy quick meal place, the dump yard. The wolf cross entered and ate some left overs before caring a peince of ham to where he was, "Do you want some help?" She asked as her beautiful eye twinkled.

[lemmy]

Marco shook his head and jumped through the snow. Soon, he was closer to town and beeping of horns and human voices came to life. He looked down at the snow, sniffing then looking up. He smiled. Then started to head towards the house, when someone startled him. He whipped around to see the female with a peice of ham. Even though he was awfully hungry he didn't want ham. He smelt like trash and that made him wanna barff. "Why did you follow me?" He asked meeting her twinkling eyes.

[Guest]

"Nothing better to do, well I got to go." She said dropping the ham by him and wondering off into the snow, feeling lonely. Not paying action to where she was going she entered a male who she hated Alley.

[lemmy]

Marco rolled his eyes at her reply. Then, when she said she'd had to go he watched her go. "Wait--" he started and shook his head turning. He then entered town and saw his mother by the door. She walked towards him, barking happily and nuzzled him. "Hello Marco, I was worried last night." she said. Marco nuzzled her back. "I'm okay mother what are you doing?" he asked. "Well, I've thought yesterday and I was thinking maybe you could sled with me... in a race with my team?" she asked. Marco didn't know what to say... racing wasn't really his thing but he just hit a happy yip and bobbed his head. "That sounds wonderful mom." He said.

[Guest]

As she moved she started to hear paw steps and her head spring up with her ears and tail, "Wh-who's out there?" She said then realised where she was and started to run for it but it was to late. She felt something hit her side and she whimpered, "Well hello babe, have not seen you in awhile. Have you finally came to give in a be my lucky lady?" She said and a low menacing growl started to raise from her throat, "I'd never be mates with a monster like you, Drako! And any ways your name's funny." Now she was being mean. The male felt anger boil inside of him, "Well if I can't make you want to then I'll force you to be my mate." He said and was met with bites repentantly that barley missed his neck, "Paws off me!" Her scream echoed and she pushed him off making a run for it but he was inches behind her. She sped up, gaining speed and staying at least a foot or two away from him till coming to a dead in. She was trapped and worse Drake's boys where surrounding her. She whimpered, "Get her." Was the last she heard as the lights went out.

[lemmy]

As Marco got ready in the team, an echo sounded. He pricked his ears and his mother looked up. Marco then regonized the voice and heard a racket. He then saw shadows and quick movements go into the ally and saw one of them were that female dog. Unlosing his grip from the harness the man was trying to put him in, he ran and saw dogs circling a limp body. He growled and bristled. "Paws off her!" Sprining up, he landed on Drako and started fighting with him. "Get him!" He told the other two dogs. And the dogs started to jump on him. He yelped.

[Guest]

Alice arose to her feet, "Hey Drako did you forget? I'm half wolf." She then when able let out the most erie howl of all, not one of a dog, no where near and it echoed through the city sounding pure wolf. It was enough to creep a full dog out and send shivers down their spine and Alice knew one of the males was a chicken to the howl. She was not a good fighter and took off afterwards, fallowing his sent to the sled dogs. She barked at the human and tugged on him then talked to the other dogs, speaking of the fight before darting back, "Help should come." She said then jumped on one of the other dogs growling but, even though half wolf was quickly pinned. She snapped her snarling jaws at the males thought and at the tired try didn't miss, her massive wolf like jaws crunched down on his neck but before she could break his neck something, or another dog bummed her just right to force her to let go. With a bloody neck the other dog backed off but Drako and his other friend where still attacking Marco.

(There was three dogs in Drako group not two.)

[lemmy]

As the dogs attacked him, he started to throw them off as best he could. He threw them off with as much strength he could but as he kept going, he was losing energy, it was draining out of him quickly. He couldn't believe that he jumped into a fight that he knew he'd never win; so now he was a goner helping a female that he'd hardly known, he'd risked his life and tried to be the saviour when he was outnumbered. Great way to play a game.

Suddenly, a beautiful and long wolf-like howl sounded in the alley and bounced of the walls, echoing throughout the terran of Alaska. It seemed to call to heaven and it was a beautiful but deadly wolf-howl. What kind of wolf came here? Why would a wolf go to visit in town. But when he looked up, he'd noticed that the female was up and she was howling, her head tilted back, her head resting on the back of her neck while her chest puffed out. Marco stood in awe; he'd never saw anything so more beautiful except for the crazy dreams and mirages of his father. But this was from a female; so more ptiched and meloudious with the warning of deadlyness in it. Then he'd realized that this female wasn't just some regular "husky" she was a hybrid and he regonized her true beauty a flash before his eyes.

The howling had died out and Marco had transmitted from his mesmerized look on the female. Turning around, he looked and saw one of the wolves, ears drawn back while the others still stood there, dumbfounded. The one still backing up, not watching where he was going he fell into the trashcan knocking others over. Marco gave a small chuckle but as he was still watching the moving trashcans, he was attacked by Drako and one of the other males. He fell to the ground with a yelp as he felt claws being driven down his flank. As he fought for his life, the howl that gave him life again, didn't last and he was drained once more. Drako's scent not flooded his nose and the dog's hot breath was close to his face as his murmured, "you messed with the wrong dog." He felt the dog's hot breath get closer as he went to bite Marco's neck. He heard yelps but saw nothing but concerte. He readied himself to say good-bye to the world

Suddenly the weight was tooken off him and he lifted his eyes open to see his mother, snapping at Drako and digging into him with powerful claws. Drako squirmed helplessly still shocked from surprise attack. He looked back and saw the female girl overpowering another male dog. His mothers sled team was chasing off the other one by the trashcan. The human called the dogcatcher and was talking silently to him.

[Guest]

Alice was getting up when something wearied happened, a answer to her howl. IT was pure bred wolf. Shocked she looked out to where it came from, a far-ish away mountain. It echoed far an wide, she listened shocked but didn't answer. Not wanting any fighting. Then summing her strength of a wolf she felt power and raced towards Drako and rammed her body into his side causing him to fall. She snarled, looking pure wolf or a mere secant standing snarling over him, "Now what was your question aging." The dog finally, saw the power in the wolf hybrid and whimpered, "Nothing." He then scampered away. She went over to Marco, "Thanks, couldn't have done it with out you." Her thin wolf tail wagged behind her.

[lemmy]

Marco watched Alice join his mother and heard her. Then why was Drako suddenly scared of her? Was it because he was now outnumbered and his mother was standing by her side growling with her? Was it also because his mother's team stood at the edge of the ally while the man called the dog pound? Was Drako really that smart to realize that all that stood before him when all it really was, was two female dogs blocking him and let meloudious howls...?

No, it wasn't that. Watching him it was because of the two female dogs but the eyes Drako placed his eyes mostly fearfulled on, was Alice. Replying to her question in a studdering tone as he realized how scary she really was. As he watched, instead of Drako he saw himself before his eyes. Alice looking like a full-bred wolf who just happened to wander in the streets. He knew that he could never compete with a fae like that and instantly felt how Drako was feeling. How Drako feared the big bad wolf because her eyes and soul was warning that she'd rip his throat out.

Waiting to see what'd happen, Drako suddenly scrambled up and burst like a wind of speed out of the ally. The team watched him go snarling visiously. His mother straighted and watched the tail of Drako's that was wrapped between his legs disappear. Her hackles lied flat again and her eyes that were once filled with rage, disappeared. Marco watched his mother turn to Alice and studied her. Instead of freaking out like Drako did, she bowed down towards Alice. Marco's eyes went wide and he pawed the concerte with envy. A shot of pain shot from his flank to his backleg and he whined, shutting his eyes tightly. "Thank you for calling us." he heard his mother say to Alice.

[Guest]

Alice turned her head, "Your welcome." She said nothing of the bowing, not sure how to react. The female dog then realised something, "Wait, you sled dogs!" Her once calm voice was now exited, "What's it like? I've all ways wanted to exsprense it! I bet it's fun and exiting, full of danger, well not really danger." She said and felt like laughing at herself.

[lemmy]

Marco sighed and watched her, her eyes suddenly turn to excitment and he looked, at her talking how they were a sled team. His mother gave a half-hearted smile and nodded. "So we are," she said. "And so we must do now. Come Marco, wre are going to go sledding." she said, tail held high. Marco saw his mother stride away then his eyes moved to Alice, a smile so fake that he just let it go. His eyes filled with envy. "I thank you Alice, for saving my life." he said and leaned, putting his chin on her head, resting it there for a few moments before turning and joining the team.
